Download or read book International Differences in Mortality at Older Ages written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-27 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950 men and women in the United States had a combined life expectancy of 68.9 years, the 12th highest life expectancy at birth in the world. Today, life expectancy is up to 79.2 years, yet the country is now 28th on the list, behind the United Kingdom, Korea, Canada, and France, among others. The United States does have higher rates of infant mortality and violent deaths than in other developed countries, but these factors do not fully account for the country's relatively poor ranking in life expectancy. International Differences in Mortality at Older Ages: Dimensions and Sources examines patterns in international differences in life expectancy above age 50 and assesses the evidence and arguments that have been advanced to explain the poor position of the United States relative to other countries. The papers in this deeply researched volume identify gaps in measurement, data, theory, and research design and pinpoint areas for future high-priority research in this area. In addition to examining the differences in mortality around the world, the papers in International Differences in Mortality at Older Ages look at health factors and life-style choices commonly believed to contribute to the observed international differences in life expectancy. They also identify strategic opportunities for health-related interventions. This book offers a wide variety of disciplinary and scholarly perspectives to the study of mortality, and it offers in-depth analyses that can serve health professionals, policy makers, statisticians, and researchers.

Download or read book Obesity in Canada written by Jenny Ellison and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical professionals, social policy makers, and the media have all declared that Canada is in the grip of an obesity epidemic. Conceptualizing obesity as a biological condition, these experts insist that it needs to be “prevented” and “managed.” Obesity in Canada takes a broader, critical perspective of our supposed epidemic. Examining obesity in its cultural and historical context, the book’s contributors ask how we measure health and wellness, where our attitudes to obesity develop from, and what the consequences are of naming and targeting as “obese” those whose body weights do not match our expectations. A broad survey of the issues surrounding the obesity panic in Canada, it is the first collection of fat studies and critical obesity studies from a distinctly Canadian perspective.

Book excerpt: Discrimination based on body shape and size remains commonplace in today's society. This important volume explores the nature, causes, and consequences of weight bias and presents a range of approaches to combat it. Leading psychologists, health professionals, attorneys, and advocates cover such critical topics as the barriers facing obese adults and children in health care, work, and school settings; how to conceptualize and measure weight-related stigmatization; theories on how stigma develops; the impact on self-esteem and health, quite apart from the physiological effects of obesity; and strategies for reducing prejudice and bringing about systemic change.

Download or read book Explaining Divergent Levels of Longevity in High-Income Countries written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last 25 years, life expectancy at age 50 in the United States has been rising, but at a slower pace than in many other high-income countries, such as Japan and Australia. This difference is particularly notable given that the United States spends more on health care than any other nation. Concerned about this divergence, the National Institute on Aging asked the National Research Council to examine evidence on its possible causes. According to Explaining Divergent Levels of Longevity in High-Income Countries, the nation's history of heavy smoking is a major reason why lifespans in the United States fall short of those in many other high-income nations. Evidence suggests that current obesity levels play a substantial part as well. The book reports that lack of universal access to health care in the U.S. also has increased mortality and reduced life expectancy, though this is a less significant factor for those over age 65 because of Medicare access. For the main causes of death at older ages-cancer and cardiovascular disease-available indicators do not suggest that the U.S. health care system is failing to prevent deaths that would be averted elsewhere. In fact, cancer detection and survival appear to be better in the U.S. than in most other high-income nations, and survival rates following a heart attack also are favorable. Explaining Divergent Levels of Longevity in High-Income Countries identifies many gaps in research. For instance, while lung cancer deaths are a reliable marker of the damage from smoking, no clear-cut marker exists for obesity, physical inactivity, social integration, or other risks considered in this book. Moreover, evaluation of these risk factors is based on observational studies, which-unlike randomized controlled trials-are subject to many biases.

Download or read book What is the Relationship Between Industry, Occupation, and Body Weight in Canada? written by Saibiao Peng and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overweight and obesity are well known to be associated with negative health outcome. Canadians spend a large portion of their walking hours at work and their level of physical activity (or lack thereof) and eating habits while there likely play a role in their body weight. This study examines the association between industry and occupation of work and the likelihood of overweight and obesity. This paper managed to discover social economic factors and human behavior factors that will help identify groups that are most at risk of being overweight and obese. Cycle 5 of NPHS and all 8 cycles of CCHS are used in logit and fixed-effect models to run regression analysis. Results show that compare to male, female are less likely to become overweight and obese, age has negative effect on people’s body weight, and people who live in Ontario, Birth Columbia have the lowest risk of being overweight and obese. Also the results indicate that the following variables: education, household-income, physical activity and eating habits are negatively associated with being overweight and obese. For industry and occupation, the results show: people who work at public administration and education industry have highest risk to become obese; Occupation as manager or sales contribute most to people’s risk of being obese.

Download or read book Season of Birth and Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity in Canada written by Nicholas Anthony Wattie and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest parts of prenatal life have been identified as a critical period for the origin of disease later in life. The season in which a person is born has been identified as a risk factor for developing schizophrenia later in life. The purpose of the current project was to examine if season of birth is a risk for overweight and obesity in Canada. Birth data on 12 to 64 year old Canadian born respondents of cycle 2.1 of the Canadian Community Health Survey was examined. Overall, winter and spring season of birth was identified as a risk factor for severe obesity, primarily so among the 20--29 year old cohort. However, the 'season of birth-risk' was only one among many other obesity risk factors, such as physical inactivity and low socioeconomic status. The results of the current project highlight the importance of considering the complexity of obesity risk factors.
